Globalization Makes

---Take the Aggression of Korean Culture as an Example Globalization brings a lot of influences to our life and society.For instance,people may drive a car designed in Europe,assembled in South America,manufactured in Asia and shipped by a middle eastern company.That’s a distinct case we learned in textbook of plutonomy.Besides the influence shows in economy,a big effect also work on cultural field.Let’s focus on cultural aggression around us and talk about how it works in international relations and the way to resist it. 1.What is cultural aggression?
